| Tucked away at the
southern tip of peninsular India, sandwiched between the
Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, is a piece of tropical
paradise called Kerala. The National Geographic Traveler
has listed it among the top ten must see destinations
on earth. Kerala, as the cliché goes, is God's
own country; and Kumarakom is its sanctum sanctorum.
Seemingly afloat on the placid waters
of the Vembanad Lake, Kumarakom is a quaint little hamlet
of tiny islands about 85 kilometers from Cochin International
Airport.
| Relish nature’s glory on wings with the world-famous sanctuary at Kumarakom.Taste a touch of rustic Kerala village life with the R-Block and Kainagiri, small islands on the Vembanad Lake. Witness farming of a different kind, farming below water level. Dip your toes in the warmth of the sand stretches of Pathiramanal. |

Take a pensive moment before the Buddha statue dating back to 300BC at Karumadikuttom or at the equally ancient St. Kuriakose Church. Savourstrokes of brilliant traditional architecture at the famous temples of Ambalappuzha or partake in the crafting of Kerala’s renowned ‘Snake Boats’ at Chempakkulam. Or just be Fascinated with women expertly fishing with their mere bare hands. And the million other fascinations that Kerala is known for around the world.
